I agree that Chrome would protect users' security (privacy is a different issue). But that's one browser, not an arbitrary browser. Could you allow Chrome without allowing other browsers with lesser pedigree?

Keep in mind that several of Congress' questions are asking whether Apple provides privileged access to favored partners.

Sure, you could have security auditing standards required for apps with certain functionality, including browsers, and apply them in a neutral manner across vendors. That might structurally favor larger firms, but wouldn't favor partners.
